Singapore-based independent common carrier X-Press Feeders has taken delivery of the first methanol dual-fuel retrofitted feeder vessel from PaxOcean’s Zhoushan yard in China.
The retrofit included fitting a MAN 5S50ME engine developed by German manufacturer MAN Energy Solutions (MAN ES) as well as a complete methanol fuel system and essential modifications.
Net zero by 2050
This milestone marks another step in X-Press Feeders’ journey toward net zero by 2050. Earlier this year, the company welcomed the first green methanol-fueled 1,260 TEU containership built by Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group. The newbuild is the first of fourteen dual-fuel ships the company has on order.
